 PREFACE

Elasmobranchs consist of sharks, skates and rays which, along with their
sister group holocephalans, comprise the extant cartilaginous fishes or class
Chondrichthyes. Elasmobranchs hold an important position in the
evolutionary history of jawed vertebrates, with fossil evidence of ancestral
forms dating back close to 400 million years. There are about 1000 living
species of elasmobranchs, mostly marine, all with distinctive features:
skeletal elements formed of prismatic calcified cartilage, placoid dermal
scales, teeth that are shed and replaced regularly, an osmoregulatory
strategy to keep body fluids nearly iso-osmotic with the surrounding water,
internal fertilization with many species bearing live young, and highly
developed sensory systems including electroreception. Some also elevate
their core body temperatures by retaining muscle heat via vascular heat
exchangers.
Because of their evolutionary significance and unusual physiology
elasmobranchs are of great interest to biologists in general and fish
physiologist in particular. This two part volume on the Physiology of
Elasmobranch Fishes is modeled on a previous comprehensive treatment of
this field published over 25 years ago (Physiology of Elasmobranchs, edited
by T.J. Shuttleworth in 1989). In that time much has changed in terms of
interest and breadth of research on elasmobranchs, and increased public
awareness of their importance in oceanic ecosystems and decimation due to
commercial fishing pressures. Over the past two decades research efforts and
published works on elasmobranch physiology have greatly expanded and
now include more sophisticated laboratory work, increased field measure-
ments, a notable increase in the diversity of species studied, and a particular
boom in lab and field-based studies of large pelagic sharks. Interestingly,
virtually all experimental physiology studies of elasmobranchs have been
conducted on wild-caught animals. There are no aquaculture sources for

xv
xvi PREFACE

research specimens, in contrast to the situation for physiologists who work

with teleosts, many being supplied from aquaculture stocks that have been
subjected to various degrees of genetic manipulation in their domestication.
This certainly makes physiological studies of elasmobranchs more difficult,
but it is also unusual in the sense that the specimens studied are not
influenced by captive breeding artifacts. However, laboratory investigations
are still impractical with many elasmobranch species which have relatively
large body size, live in remote habitats, and are continuous swimmers.
Here we present a broad exploration of our current knowledge of
elasmobranch physiology in a two-part volume. Aspects of elasmobranch
structure and interactions with their environment are covered in volume
34A, while volume 34B expands on internal physiological processes. Both
parts are fully integrated by cross-referencing between the various chapters,
and they share a common index. Twenty-eight authors with appropriate
expertise and active research programs in the field have contributed sixteen
chapters. Each synthesizes the available data into a comprehensive review of
the topic, while also comparing elasmobranchs to other groups of fishes and
providing a perspective on future research problems and directions.
Volume 34A begins with a well-illustrated description of the evolutionary
history of cartilaginous fishes, highlighting relationships between elasmo-
branchs, holocephalans, and their ancestors. Chapter 2 follows with a very
detailed review of the battery of sensory capabilities found in elasmo-
branchs, including the more unusual electric and magnetic senses. By
examining species from different habitats this chapter investigates how
elasmobranchs use their sensory systems to sample their “sensoryscape”,
and how this influences their behavioral responses to environmental stimuli.
The structure of elasmobranch gills is described and illustrated in striking
detail in Chapter 3 where the diversity among elasmobranchs as well as
important differences from other fish groups are highlighted. Chapter 4
presents a comprehensive review of the muscular and skeletal anatomy and
the mechanics that support a range of feeding behaviors, from simple
ancestral biting to more derived suction and filter feeding. Skeletal muscle
structure and contractile properties are reviewed in Chapter 5, with an
emphasis on how elasmobranch muscle (of which we know comparatively
little) compares with muscle in other fishes, and how relatively large body
size in sharks confounds such comparisons. In Chapter 6 elasmobranch
locomotor diversity, hydrodynamics, and energetics are discussed in
comparison with teleosts, and special structures such as the heterocercal
tail and the denticled skin are highlighted. Looking to the potential impact
of global ocean change, new evidence on temperature effects on locomotor
performance is also presented. Chapter 7 presents a comprehensive review
of the diverse range of elasmobranch strategies for reproduction, from
PREFACE xvii

oviparity to different forms of viviparity and a survey of modes of

embryonic nutrition such as oophagy and intrauterine cannibalism. Finally,
Chapter 8 explores the advantages of conducting physiological studies in the
field, with descriptions of current technologies and examples of new
findings. These innovative approaches are opening new opportunities to
study larger species in their natural environment.
Volume 34B begins with two chapters on the function and control of
cardio-respiratory systems. Chapter 1 compares elasmobranch and teleost
cardiovascular systems, with emphasis on neural, endocrine and paracrine
control features. This chapter also considers how various species might
experience cardiovascular challenges associated with increased temperature
and hypoxia in future oceans. Chapter 2 then describes the physiology of
respiratory systems in elasmobranchs, with emphasis on the generation
of respiratory rhythm, sensory inputs, motor output patterns, and the
integration of control and synchrony of the cardio-respiratory systems. The
physiology of oxygen and carbon dioxide transport in elasmobranchs is
reviewed in Chapter 3, focusing on functional modifications of hemoglobin
and carbonic anhydrase. In addition, adaptations for respiratory gas
transport in conditions of exercise, hypoxia, salinity, temperature and in
some species, regional heterothermy are reviewed. The next two chapters
deal with systems to control ion and fluid balance, highlighting the unusual
reliance on urea. Chapter 4 describes how marine elasmobranchs maintain
osmotic balance by the use of organic osmolytes (mainly urea and
methylamines), making them hypo-ionic osmoconformers, while euryhaline
species have reduced osmolytes and function as hyperosmotic regulators.
Specific mechanisms used by elasmobranchs to balance acid and base, ions,
and nitrogenous wastes by the gill, kidney, gut and rectal gland are detailed
in Chapter 5, with specific comparisons among species inhabiting marine,
freshwater, and intermediate salinity habitats. Chapter 6 links feeding
ecology to physiology in elasmobranchs, and includes a discussion of several
analytical techniques used to determine diet composition for different
feeding behaviors. The anatomy of the digestive tract is covered in detail,
and digestive processes specific to the demands of different ecological niches
occupied are reviewed. Chapter 7 reviews metabolic processes in elasmo-
branchs, clearly demonstrating that their metabolic organization and
regulatory mechanisms are very much driven by the need to continuously
synthesize and maintain large amounts of urea. This chapter also shows how
studies of elasmobranchs can provide broader insight into the evolution
of metabolism in the vertebrates. Chapter 8 completes the volume with a
detailed and systematic review of endocrine systems in elasmobranchs,
emphasizing the importance of hormonal control in many aspects of their
physiology. One unusual feature is the production of a corticosteroid unique
xviii PREFACE

to elasmobranchs in the interrenal gland. Although our current knowledge

of elasmobranch endocrinology is extensive it has come from studies on but
a few of the hundreds of species, suggesting that there is much more to learn
in future research, not just in endocrinology, but in all aspects of the
physiology of these fascinating fishes.
The editors would like to thank Pat Gonzalez, Kristi Gomez,
Lucı́a Pérez and their production staff at Elsevier for guiding this project
from its inception to final publication. We thank the anonymous reviewers
who provided constructive comments on the original proposal for this
volume, and numerous colleagues who acted as external peer reviewers of
the chapter drafts. Finally we thank the team of elasmobranch experts who
authored the important written contributions and also aided efforts with
their patience and collegial cooperation over the past 2 years.
